Why should we pick Manta Diving Lanzarote over all the other dive centres?

We believe the quality of service we offer is second to none. Additionally while many dive centres in Lanzarote take large dive groups out, we set a maximum of 8 divers per guide. We truly believe in quality over quantity. We understand we cannot please everyone, but it doesn’t stop us from trying. Check out some of our guest feedback and see what our divers have to say about their experiences with Manta Diving Lanzarote.

What happens if it rains?

Rain is very rare in Lanzarote. However even if it does rain, it does not pose any problems. Southerly winds are a different matter. If conditions are not safe and we are forced to cancel, you are not charged and any payments made will be gladly refunded. We will do our best to notify you as soon as possible if weather will impede our dives.

Should I make a booking in advance?

Yes, we highly recommend pre-booking your diving before you get to Lanzarote as we like to keep our dive groups small.

Also if you pre-book a 6 dive package or above you also receive a free dive on top of the dive package! Book diving now

We recommend staying in Puerto Del Carmen. There is a huge selection of accommodation on offer depending on what you are looking for. Studio apartments, 1 bedroom apartments, 2 bedroom apartments, villas and hotels are all available.

There are 2 hotels nearby the dive centre that offer great rates to our divers.

The Costa Volcan Spa is next door to the dive centre. All the rooms are 1 bedroom apartments and sleep up to 3 with the third person on the sofa bed. It’s handy for diving as you can pop back to your room between dives. Only available as self-catering.

The THB Flora is a 10 minute walk up the road. They have a couple of pools onsite, as well as restaurant and supermarket. Boards available include: room only, bed and breakfast, half board and all-inclusive. This is a great hotel for families. The younger kids especially love the entertainment and there’s a splash park too!
